n“What? Who are we bringing back?” Drake was perplexed when he heard the command.

nThe others heard him and realized that he had received some order from Himmel Soan through his earphones. They all stopped talking and looked at Drake.

nDrake pointed at his earphones, indicating that he had received an order.

nHimmel Soan said, “We’re going to pick up whoever asks to come to Moon!”

n“What? Patriarch, is this a joke?”

n“When did I ever joke about such things? Get going!”

n“But…” Drake didn’t know what to say, but he didn’t dare disobey his Patriarch, so he turned to the others with a conflicted look on his face.

nHenry asked, “What’s wrong?”

nDrake said, “The Patriarch told us to go out and save those people!”

n“What? Get me online!”

nHenry asked Drake to switch on the computer. Himmel Soan’s face appeared on the screen.

nEverybody gathered around the computer. Gordon asked, “Mr. Soan, who are you going to save?”

nHimmel Soan showed them the situation outside through his sunglasses, which were his communication device.

nThey could see that Himmel Soan was flying over a land on fire. The broken pieces of the meteorite were falling around him while fire and smoke covered the ground.

nThere was an ark every few kilometers.

nThe arks weren’t safe. They would explode as soon as a meteorite piece fell upon them.

nMost of the arks weren’t mobile, and it wouldn’t be safe for the passengers to come out either because various natural disasters were still happening. The world was overwhelmed by hurricanes, thunderstorms, and tsunamis.

nAlthough the atmosphere had been mended and Himmel Soan’s mental force had covered the planet, the disasters still weren’t under control.

nThe people on Earth could only wait until the natural disasters stopped on their own or were controlled eventually. As a result, the passengers had no choice but to wait.

nEach ark contained at least 50,000 people. Some larger ones contained over 100,000 people.

nWhenever an ark was hit by a meteorite piece, at least 50,000 people would be wiped off the face of Earth.

nYes, many of those people were abominable, and some were even the radicals who had attacked Moon. However, they were still human beings. Besides, there were many innocent people in the arks, too.

nHimmel Soan couldn’t watch while the innocent people were killed. He would try to save as many people as he could. After all, this world needed human beings.

nNatural disasters had annihilated at least five countries. All the other countries would lose at least 20% of their total population. It was like a great purge.

nSome of the survivors could have the talent to help the human race in the future.

nHimmel Soan wanted to save innocent people. As for those who had attacked Moon before, he would help them in passing. He would let the Moonians decide if they would punish those people now or in the future.

nFor now, he only wanted to help as many people as he could.

nThe others saw on the computer screen that Himmel Soan was charging at a piece of meteorite. The next second, he collided with it.

nSmoke and fire filled the screen, but it soon lit up.

nHimmel Soan had flown out of the flames, and the meteorite piece had been destroyed.

nHe had saved another ark.

nHimmel Soan talked to them as he continued his flight. “Save the people that need saving! Save those that have asked for help online!”

n“Why? Mr. Soan, if we send people out now, they’ll get killed! We may not be able to reach other countries!”

nGordon said, “Mr. Soan, those people left Moon willingly. They abandoned their homeland in the face of a catastrophe. Now, they want to come back, but why should we help them? If they could abandon their country, why shouldn’t their country abandon them? They aren’t worth it!”

nHimmel Soan said, “I didn’t ask you to save them. I gave the order to the three divisions!”

nDrake said, “But Patriarch, we can’t withstand the meteorite, either! What if the pieces fell upon our men…”

n“You can’t withstand it, but you can dodge! Save as many as you can, but ensure your own safety first. Try to bring them back with as few casualties as possible,” said Himmel Soan.

nPhoebe spoke up, “Patriarch, that’s impossible! Maybe we can reach other countries, but how are we going to get back? We can’t dodge the meteorite while protecting those people!”

n“The IVE Extractors!”

nEverybody’s eyes lit up. Drake asked, “Can we use them on the planes, too?”

n“What do you think?”

nIf the planes were equipped with IVE Extractors, would they be able to withstand the falling meteorite pieces?

nHowever, if the plane shifted in the air…

nHenry said, “It won’t be safe enough!”

n“Then don’t pick them up. We can send IVE Extractors to all the arks.”

n“But we don’t have that many devices!”

n“We’ll do our best. It’s better than doing nothing.”

nThe others fell silent because they didn’t believe they should rescue those people.

nThose people had it coming. If they had listened to Himmel Soan, they wouldn’t have been in this mess.

nThe Moonian president spoke at that moment. “We have the power to help other people, so we can’t just sit idly. We still have some spare room in the space cannon. Let’s transform it into a factory and start building IVE Extractors. We can send the devices to as many arks as we can manage. Remember, the Moonians’ safety is our priority. We won’t try to save everybody!

n“That’s the best we can do!”

nThe others nodded and agreed with the president and Himmel Soan.

nHimmel Soan said, “I created this battle armor that comes with its own IVE. There’s one set in my office now, and you’ll find the blueprint inside. Give everything to Viclan. Let him start mass production ASAP. He must make a thousand sets in the next hour. All the soldiers should wear the armor when they go out. They’ll be safe as long as they aren’t directly hit by the meteorite pieces.”

n“Yes, Patriarch! Consider it done!”

n…

nThe meteorite pieces would continue to fall for at least ten more hours. If Moon didn’t do something, the world would be destroyed.
